mutiple upload with file manager

Hello,

Uploading is one thing, but is there a way to create a file manager(or reuse an existing one) where every file has a checkbox. When I check some checkboxes and then press on the 'upload' button, the selected files should be uploaded to a specified dir.

You can compare it with an ftp program, but instead of select, drag and drop; you can select and press the upload button.

creating a file manager is not the problem. But, is there someone who can explain how posting a file works? What data is actually submitted, and is there a way to simulate this?

[edit] ok, i find something about this on http://www.php.net/fsockopen. The only problem about that is what (should) happens after posting the data.
Do i have to go manually to the 'receiving' page? Or, ....

Avido, uploading one(ore more) files is possible ONLY when you CLICK on the browse button of a file input box. You cannot dynamically set the filename value in HTML forms. If that was possible, i will simply stop browsing internet for obvious reasons.
